DIY Dessert Favor: Pudding in a Jar

Posted October 20, 2011 | ♥ 1 Comment

I think all guests would agree (especially Bill Cosby himself) that pudding in a jar is a grand-slam favor idea. Who doesn’t love chocolate pudding – particularly Midnight Black Chocolate Pudding – as shown below? I will never tire of treats packaged in mason jars, let alone ones that look as scrumptious as these. Spotted via Pinterest from Joy The Baker.

… then pearls are a close second! Today, we’re showcasing five vintage-inspired pearls for the bride by Lyn Jewels where you can find pearl necklaces, bracelets, brooches and more. Read on to find five of our hand-picked pretty pearl favorites and why we like ‘em. Enjoy!

#1: Multi-Strand Pearl Bracelet

First up is a multi-strand chunky pearl bracelet with varying sizes of pearls (4mm, 6mm and 8mm). A silver chain finishes the piece and can be adjusted.

Why We Like It: If a necklace doesn’t work with your gown’s neckline, a bracelet is an easy way to tie in the look. The varying pearl sizes combines both a traditional and modern look.

The rehearsal dinner is an opportunity to get together with family and friends the night before the wedding immediately following the rehearsal at your ceremony site. Today, we’re showing you how to plan a rehearsal dinner using handmade details to set a personal, romantic tone.

Select a Venue

You’ll want to select an intimate setting for the venue, without upstaging the wedding day. The rehearsal is designed to be a small gathering of friends and family, not a reception. A cozy room with personal details (like this western themed site spotted via Salt Harbor Designs) creates a warm, inviting space:

Bridesmaid Locket Love

Posted October 18, 2011 | ♥ 3 Comments

Everyone loves a sentimental, re-usable and handmade gift. That’s why we love the idea of a bridesmaid locket for your girls which can be customized with a photo inside. Wouldn’t it be cute to gift a locket with an old photo from grade school? Or pay homage to your middle school crushes with a photo of Lance Bass or Justin Timberlake? (Don’t deny it.) We spotted these beautiful lockets by Filix, a second shop recently launched by designer Ryan of The Blooming Thread. Ryan opened Filix (a term that is derived from a term meaning “sincerity”) as, “a place to collect pieces that inspire me to stay centered and appreciate the beauty that surrounds me“. Take a peek at our hand-picked favorite lockets below:
